About Us
Sano Via Wellness is an advanced, unique clinic focusing on innovative methods for maintaining wellness and prevention or management of chronic diseases. We use a true integrative approach combining powerful natural and non-toxic allopathic methods. At Sano Via we give your body the tools to heal naturally, rather than relying primarily on artificial drugs. All diagnostic and therapeutic services are carried out under the supervision of Dr. Akbar Khan (University of Toronto Medical Class of ’92). In 2018 Dr. Khan was granted the designation of IMD (integrative medical doctor) by the Board of Integrative Medicine., and received the Order of Excellence in Integrative Medicine from the World Organization of Natural Medicines. In 2019 he was granted the title of FAAO, Fellow of the American Academy of Ozone Therapy. Working under Dr. Khan’s leadership are Dr. Doug Andrews, ND and our skilled nurses.
Our Healing Environment
We have carefully designed a high-tech healing environment for our patients. Warm colours, modern decor, soft LED lighting and comfortable furniture have been combined in a way to ensure that you will never feel like you are in a hospital or doctor’s office. Natural stone accents the clinic entrance, and patients are welcomed by the soothing presence of running water from a custom designed floor-to-ceiling indoor waterfall.
On certain days, patients will be greeted by Charlie or Hazel, our two Labrador Retriever therapy dogs. We provide reverse osmosis-purified water for drinking, and for making tea or coffee. The air in our office is purified each morning with a measured amount of ozone gas. Patients are treated in the privacy of individual rooms. There is an option to use one of two lounges, for those who like to watch educational videos, or prefer to speak with other patients.
Meet Our Staff
Our qualified staff are here to empower you on the path to optimal health. Everyone at Sano Via has personal experience with our current health system and its shortcomings. This motivates us to constantly develop and implement new ideas to overcome those obstacles, so you can benefit!

A Professional Approach to Your Care, Beyond Limited Conventional Strategies

Natural Approach
Your body contains complex systems designed to work together to constantly maintain proper function. For this reason, we rarely “treat a disease” – rather we provide powerful support for your body to function optimally and recover naturally.
Innovative Treatments
We have learned from years of experience that our public health system is limited when it comes to prevention or managing chronic illness. We look beyond artificial boundaries to bring powerful and effective therapies to you without compromise.
The Power of Ozone
Ozone is a natural form of oxygen (O3) different than what we breathe (O2). The addition of precise amounts of ozone to the body acts as a powerful medical therapy. Our Medical Director is one of 3 ozone physicians in Canada who has fellowship certification with AAOT.
Evidence-Based Medicine
Medicine is a rapidly advancing beyond the capability of our public health system. We are in a unique position to look at evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic solutions developed by doctors and scientists around the world, and bring them to our patients.
